I’m giving the Landmark 4 stars because of their delicious Mousaka. It took a while but that was because they made it fresh, and man was it YUMMY! One of the only places in Charlotte that serve Mousaka, which is the Greek version of Lasagna…only better (IMHO). Oh, and the Greek desserts were very yummy as well, like their Baklava.

The restaurant is in the middle of a neighborhood in Midtown, which stuck me as odd when I first arrived. Parking was extremely awkward as I had to parallel park up next to somebody’s home and walk down a few blocks since there wasn’t much parking available.

I grew up eating bierocks, and these are close. They are quite peppery, and I love pepper. They are not as good as what I grew up with, but they do the trick considering how much work it is to make them from scratch.

I first went here in 2011 and took my family for lunch b/c it was close to our home. I remember it being fine - we had sandwiches, a Mediterranean plate, a small lunch - sized steak, etc. and everything was basically good. It just wasn’t a place I thought of to go again. Then, about two months ago, I threw it out as a option of a close place to meet a friend for lunch, and since then, my husband and I have been back several times.

Excellent food! They give pretty decent sized portions as well. As a tip, I’d recommend going about an hour before they close down and they are a LOT more liberal with their serving size.

Went with my bf and we both got the buffet. Very reasonably priced..under $20 pp for all u can eat. This included several meats…sides…salad…dessert. Sweet tea was really good.

Fantastic breakfast, mad respect for the art of the diner and hella cool wait staff.
Johnny cakes are brilliant but far more impressive is the respect the staff has for the legacy of their craft.

I tried some of my cousins pozole and it was also great. Lots of flavor and a lot of meat and hominy. The only problem, well its not really a problem, but the food coma sets in after eating here. I managed to finish my entire plate and then proceeded to take a nap.

A few weeks ago, my friend Craig of the blog Memphis Que wrote that he was having trouble finding places to blog about. Given that his blog’s focus is on barbecue and Soul Food restaurants, this surprised me. I responded by listing places that I either experienced or heard great things about. Among the restaurants mentioned, one of them is head and shoulders above the rest.

My first trip to Pittsburgh, I stayed in Coraopolis and wanted some spaghetti and the GPS pulled this place up but they were closed that day, but a cute little place.

A friend from out of town was visiting and wanted to go here after seeing it on Food Network. I had never heard of it but thought it would be a different place to try.

Wow! I grew up in Tucson, AZ so I am very particular about this type of food and take most Mexican restaurants outside of AZ with a grain of salt (no pun intended). Lone Star is the real deal.

I can’t believe that I forgot about this place! I was first introduced to Los Tap by my friend almost three years ago and didn’t realize how big of a punch in the face it was going to be. If commercial Mexican food isn’t your thing, then come here for some nice home style cooking.

I like others hear about this from DDD, but I wasn’t going to hold that against it. This place is fantastic having delicious food and reasonable prices. They have the best Chile Reno Burrito I have had in the area.

Louie Mueller is a perfect example of “less is more.” It will not be appreciated by the big city clowns who think Dickey’s, Bill Miller’s or Spring Creek are standards by which to rate BBQ.

Fluffy crabmeat omelettes and grillades and grits for breakfast, catfish po-boys for lunch.

I have eaten several times at Louies now. For me, the pizza is good but not my top 5 in Dallas. Yet, my fiance’s family would disagree. I prefer a neopolitan pizza with really fresh, authentic ingredients.
